    Staff members at the reception desk were extremely friendly and accommodating, as was the service staff. Great menu, and the food was delicious--same for drinks. Nice table settings and beautiful views. Best of all, no blaring thumping music. Our family was able to hear each other and have nice conversation.

    Beautiful view of the beach along with great food. Fabulous location - sad that it is closing at the end of summer. You have to try it before it is gone.

    Good quality food at reasonable prices. Service very friendly but could have been faster, especially for pre brunch drinks.

    Great place for a special dinner. Service was great and all food was delicious. The only downside was that it was very hot. Sitting in the indoor/outdoor balcony patio (no availability indoors), there are no fans or anything so it is extremely hot even with the blinds down blocking the sun
